We covered Oingo Boingo's song, "Controller", because we liked both Oingo Boingo, and the song itself. We only played it live, and never fully intended to record it. I think this song is about the paranoia of people losing their imagination and creativity at the hands of others. Ironically, this was one of the last songs that The Baron Von Tito played with us before leaving the band. So this is a live version that we found.
Lyrics[]
- There's someone knockin' on my door
- There's someone knockin' on my door
- I think they're looking for me
- I think they're looking for me
- Pretend there ain't nobody home
- Don't make a sound, don't even move
- Don't give them nothing to see
- I think they're looking for me
- I got to run
- I got to run
- I got to run
- I got to run
- I got to run
- There's someone crawling in my yard
- There's someone creeping on my roof
- There's someone tapping my phone
- I feel it deep in my bones
- They want to probe my intuition
- They want to find out what i know
- Why don't they leave me alone
- Why don't they leave me alone
- I got to run
- I got to run
- I got to run
- Might be the catcher
- Or the controller
- Can't be too careful
- I take precautions
- They're very clever
- I got to run
- Faceless surgeons armed with razors
- Cut out our imagination
- (repeat first verse)
- (repeat chorus)
- Faceless surgeons armed with razors
- Cut out our imagination
- It's a strange thing
- Deadly reason
- Razors cut with such precision
- Probing deep without detection
- Razors never lie
- But it's all right
- I think they're looking for me
- I think they're looking for me
- I think they're looking for me
- I think they're looking for meeeeeeeeeee
